Good Day Gents,
I am interested in trying bass fishing. I mostly fish for Crappie and Bream. Was looking for some tips on equipment, rigs, and baits/lures to start out with to try and hook some bass. I fish in West Texas in the Abilene area. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Would Rather Be Fishing!!!

My friends that don't bass fish much do the best on T Rig plastics and shallow cranks.
I prefer a level wind reel for most LM fishing. So do my friends once the learn how to throw.
Don't worry about the mule, just load the cart ![[Linked Image]](https://bulk-share.slickpic.com/album/share/3myzymTUjTUxL5/14007358.0/400/p/fullsizeoutput_5ff.jpg)

Welcome to the dark side, Mister Fish. Glad to have you.
Best advice I can offer is farm ponds, which I'm sure are readily available to you in that country.
Learn some techniques from guys here. Buy a few baits and go get 'em. Once you feel confident in your ability to detect bites and catch fish, consider a local bass club.
The rest, as they say, is history!
Have fin (fun)
